The council monitors performance of city agencies and makes land use decisions, as well as, legislating on a variety of other issues. The city council also has sole responsibility for approving the city budget and each member is limited to three consecutive terms in office and can run again after a four-year respite.
"Yerevan City Council elections are being conducted every five years with proportional lists of parties. The City Council has 65 members. The first person in the list of the party that has received more than 40% of seats, is considered elected mayor. If the parties fail to gather so many votes, the mayor will be elected by City Council."[1]
Next municipal elections are scheduled to be held in 2028.
Yerevan City Halledit
The seat of the Yerevan City Council is the Yerevan City Hall located on Argishti street at the Kentron district, facing the Square of Russia, the House of Moscow and the Yerevan Ararat Wine Factory. The construction of the building was completed in November 2004 during the period of Mayor Yervand Zakharyan, with a cost of AMD 3.1 billion. It was originally designed by architect Jim Torosyan. The construction was set at the beginning of the 1980s but stopped in 1991 due to financial difficulties. It remained unfinished until August 2003 when the construction process was continued and completed within 15 months.[2]
The city hall is a five-story building with a total area of 13,500 m2. The main entrance is topped with the traditional Armenian symbol of endless circles representing the eternity and the ancient Armenian Kenats Tsar tree representing life. It has a 47-metre-high rectangular clock tower with the word "ԵՐԵՎԱՆ" (YEREVAN) carved in Armenian script, decorated with traditional ornaments. The tower is surrounded with glassy walls at its top.[3] The Yerevan History Museum is located in an attached building just to the west of the city hall.
